Healthy Built Environment Checklist

The Healthy Built Environment Checklist is a practical tool developed by the NSW Government to help deliver quality local environments needed for well-connected and liveable communities.

The checklist supports the capacity to provide informed, health-focused advice on development policies, plans and proposals to promote healthy planning as a core component of good design of the built environment for people, places and public spaces. It focuses on characteristics of healthy development including healthy eating, physical activity, housing, transport and connectivity, quality employment, community safety and security, open space and natural features, social infrastructure, social cohesion and connectivity, environment and health, and environmental sustainability and climate change.
